At the time, officials announced the new bills would incorporate sophisticated high-tech security features, including a 3-D security strip and a color-shifting image of a bell designed to foil counterfeiters.
But the production process is so complex, it has instead foiled the government printers tasked with producing billions of the new notes.

The total face value of the unusable bills, $110 billion, represents more than ten percent of the entire supply of US currency on the planet, which a government source said is $930 billion in banknotes. For now, the unusable bills are stored in the vaults in "cash packs" of four bundles of 4,000 each, with each pack containing 16,000 bills....Because officials don't know how many of the 1.1 billion bills include the flaw, they have to hold them in the massive vaults until they are able to develop a mechanized system that can sort out the usable bills from the defects.

It's nothing more than a simple ledger entry! STOP. Store it in a vault to be later sorted and burned? Don't you wish! STOP."

Sorting such a huge quantity of bills by hand, the officials estimate, could take between 20 and 30 years.

Meanwhile *somebody* just got to be 1.1 billion dollars richer.

American taxpayers have already spent an enormous amount of money to print the bills.

That's hilarious! They never tell us that the bills are borrowed at face value plus interest as well as compound interest and more -all of which can never be paid off. What a world we live in.

Officials say that is an important step, because there are 6.6 billion $100 notes in circulation at any given time, and they wear out quickly. Reprinting the current design bills will prevent any disruption in the global circulation of US currency.

Wait a second. Didn't you get a different official statement from a "government spokesman"?

...$110 billion, represents more than ten percent of the entire supply of US currency on the planet, which a government source said is $930 billion in banknotes.

Oh, who cares? It's just a few hundred billion in difference. With more than a billion in debt added to the deficit daily anyway, it's just a minor mistake.

The production of American banknotes is a convoluted process. The paper is manufactured by Crane & Company, which has continually supplied the government since 1879. Design and production of the bills is handled by the Department of Treasury and its Bureau of Engraving and Printing. But the currency is actually issued by the Federal Reserve, which is why the bills are emblazoned with the phrase "Federal Reserve Note."

True. And what they do not tell us is that the Federal Reserve is a private corporation. Kind of important piece of information, folks.

"The Fed's very unhappy, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is taking a beating unnecessarily," the person said. "Somebody has to pay for this."

Who cares? This psy-ops journalism must go. I am sick of the corruption and the ignorance. END THE FED.

It's interesting that they used to print $500 and $1000 bills. With the advent of inflation (and the subsequent need for higher bills), they clipped the top bill to $100, or a tank of gas in my truck...

I also find it interesting that even lowly Mcdonalds cashiers now scrutinize a $20 as if it were a fake.

Back when a new car cost $2,500 and the purchaser plunked cash or coin on the counter to purchase it, it was no big deal to carry around some serious cash. Now, cars cost $25,000 and you are labeled a 'suspicious person', accused of supporting al queda if you are found to have $2,500 in your pocket during a routine traffic stop and rob., lucky to not have your cash seized.

If I remember, there was a coin dealer in Gatlinburg that sold one of the few remaining 10,000 bills that was held by a family since the 1920s. I believe there are only 3 known in circulation and that bill sold for $350K or something like that by a collector.....doesn't make sense to me. Kind of like numistatics....isn't an ounce and ounce when you really need it?
